Long Term Patient Experiences After Bariatric and Metabolic Surgery: A Phenomenological Study.
Article in Journal of evaluation in clinical practice, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundIt is important to know what individuals experience in the complex long-term process after bariatric and metabolic surgery, this information is now more sought after. It can be used to improve patient care management by better understanding individuals' long-term life experiences after bariatric and metabolic surgery.
aimThis qualitative study aimed to determine the long-term experiences of patients who underwent bariatric and metabolic surgery using a phenomenological design.
methodsThe study was conducted as qualitative research. It included 16 volunteers who underwent bariatric and metabolic surgery at least 5 years ago. Its data was collected using a semi-structured in-depth interview method. The collected data were analysed through a content, descriptive, and thematic analysis process and supported by the participants' metaphors.
resultsIn the study, 10 of the participants were female and six were male. Only one of the participants underwent adjustable gastric band surgery, the others underwent sleeve gastrectomy. Content analysis of the data revealed four main themes. These were: 'emotions and thoughts created by bariatric surgery', 'gains brought by the new body', 'difficulties brought by the new body', 'the point reached in the journey of process'.
conclusionLong Term Patient Experiences after Bariatric and Metabolic Surgery, which were both positive and negative, provide information about the participant's postsurgical process and what can be done to improve it and help patients in their recovery.
